Release 0.1.18

What's new
in Strawberry

Released

Our biggest update yet. We rebuilt your companion’s agent from the ground up to get more done with fewer credits.

We have achieved a 70% reduction in credit usage across chats. The new agent is also faster, more reliable on longer jobs, and can spin up sub-agents to work on several things at once.

This release also brings meeting recording and voice dictation, Chrome extension support, over 100 new apps, and a new way to create slides.

Agent 2.0: A Whole New Level

Agent 2.0 planning and working through a larger task

This is the biggest upgrade we have ever shipped to your companion. It is much faster and much better at longer, multi-step tasks.

It can plan before it acts, work through steps more reliably, and spin up sub-agents to tackle several parts of a job at once.

Where the old agent would click through a hundred pages of search results one by one, the new agent writes code to pull them all at once.

Everything it does shows up as a clear trail in your chat so you always know where things stand. Credits work differently with the new agent. Longer tasks are generally much cheaper, but usage patterns will change, so keep an eye on your balance as you get used to it.

Meeting Transcripts & Dictation

Recording a Google Meet call for transcription

Two new ways to use your voice. When you join a Google Meet, Zoom, or Teams call, Strawberry can record it without a bot joining the meeting. It captures both sides through your mic and system audio.

When the call ends, your companion can summarize what was said, pull out action items, or answer questions about it. There is also a new mic button in the chat input for quick dictation. Tap it, say your prompt out loud, edit if you want, and send.

Chrome Extensions

Your extensions can now come with you. Install the tools you already rely on inside Strawberry, whether that is a password manager, an ad blocker, or something custom your team built.

Most Chrome Web Store extensions work out of the box and we would love to hear which ones matter most to you.

More Apps

100+ new apps available in Strawberry

We added or improved over 100 apps across sales, recruiting, support, finance, docs, product, marketing, and engineering.

That includes Apollo, Outreach, Close, Mercury, Coda, Productboard, Webflow, QuickBooks, Postman, Sanity, New Relic, Canny, Granola, Greenhouse, Klaviyo, and Customer.io. Less copying between tabs, more tasks that actually finish end to end.

Canvas for Slides and Visuals

Your companion can now design real slide decks, posters, one-pagers, diagrams, infographics, mockups, and social graphics. Point it at your website and it picks up your brand colors, fonts, and assets.

Preview, refine, and export as PNG or PDF. Spreadsheet work got stronger too with five chart types, formula fill, and visual previews.

Recency Tab Switcher

Recency-based tab switcher with keyboard shortcuts

Tab switching is now much faster. Ctrl+Tab shows a recency-based tab switcher so your most recent tab comes first. Cmd+Option+Arrow (Ctrl+Alt+Arrow on Windows) still cycles through tabs in order.

Team Shared Filesystem

Teams now get a shared workspace in Strawberry that syncs across everyone. Open your Strawberry folder on your desktop, drop team docs, research, handoff notes, templates, or reusable knowledge into the team folder, and your teammates will see the same files after sync.

You can also ask your companion to read from or save work to the team workspace when something should be useful to everyone.

To share the companion itself, open its Share menu and choose your whole team or specific teammates. Its instructions, memories, observations, and skills come along, while each person's chat history stays private.

Improvements and Bug Fixes

  • New chat modes let you pick how your companion works: Plan makes it research and think before acting, Smart uses the most capable model for hard tasks, and Fast is for quick lookups and low-credit tasks.
  • If the app restarts while sub-agents are running, they show up in a resume banner. Hit Resume All to pick up where you left off instead of starting over.
  • Routines now remember what they did across runs and can learn from previous results. They also got clearer detail, edit, history, pause, and resume flows.
  • You can generate shareable links for files in your workspace. Recipients can view them without logging in.
  • "Stay Awake" keeps your Mac from sleeping while your companion is working on a longer task. Look for the sun icon on the new tab page.
  • Fixed a bug where credits could be silently consumed without recording usage. Affected users have been credited back.
  • Spreadsheets can now create five chart types: column, bar, line, pie, and scatter. Charts push to Google Sheets natively.
  • Links in answers now show rich hover previews with the page title, description, image, and favicon before you click.
  • Companion settings, the files panel, artifacts, and documents were all redesigned with cleaner layouts.
  • Memory is better organized around people, projects, events, research, and preferences. Each companion also develops its own personality over time, and skills auto-improve from concrete evidence during runs.
  • Credit messaging is clearer across free-plan limits, top-ups, and team balances. Your companion now understands your credit balance and adjusts its approach on free plans.
  • Subscription cancellations are handled more reliably.
  • Gmail, Slack, Google Drive, HubSpot, calendar Meet links, and app connection flows are more reliable.
  • And many more stability improvements: Google Sheets no longer auto-converts plain text to dates, numbers like "1-2" stay as-is. Back/forward navigation works between web pages and app pages. The sandbox VM recovers automatically after macOS sleep. Web hardware APIs (Serial, Bluetooth, HID, USB) now work. Firefox and Zen browser history imports correctly. Team spend caps no longer incorrectly block members who still have included credits. Address bar suggestions can be dismissed. Popup windows now always show the URL bar so you can verify where you are before entering credentials.
